4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, February 10,1993 Clubs and Organizations Guest Speaker Addresses Members of Women's Club Museum Curator Speaks to Men's Canadian Club; by Carol Alder The January meeting of the Bowmanville Bowmanville Business and Professional Women's Club was highlighted with a well attended lecture on -Menopause given by Cathy Brown and Judy Cli- menhage from the Durham health Unit, Members and guests were informed that menopause is a normal, healthy change of life that all women will experience experience if they live long enough. There are presently four million Canadian Canadian women aged 48 years and over so it is a subject pertaining to the health of a large group of women. Ms. Brown informed the group that five per cent of women experiencing menopause would have no symptoms, while five per cent would have severe symptoms and ninety per cent would have one or two non-debilitating symptoms symptoms that wouldn't change their lifestyle. lifestyle. All present were enlightened on the many varying symptoms that may be experienced such as insomnia, weight gain, hot flashes and fatigue. Ten per cent of women will experience some of these symptoms as early as 38 years of age while the average is 51 to 52 years of age. Ms. Brown brought to the attention attention of club members other factors in our lives that can cause similar symptoms such as career changes, care of parents and children and community Hard Working Kinsmen Help Research for C.F. For more than 25 years, Kinsmen and Kinetic Clubs of Canada have had the funding of Cystic Fibrosis Research Research as one of its National Projects. The relationship of Kin and CF has resulted in Canada being ,a world leader leader in CF research. With the discovery of the gene which causes this dreaded child-killer, we are. closer now to a cure than every before. It is ironic that to have a CF child now, is probably the most frightening. In the past, hard as it was to accept, you knew your child would die before the age of 6. Today, with a cure in sight, you wonder wonder if your child will survive long enough to receive the benefit of any new research. It's not a-matter of "IF", but "WHEN."' We, as a society take for granted that our children will all lead happy and healthy lives...clearly many don't. Our forefathers had it right...the harshness of their-lives was tempered by the simple philosophy that "one should always count their blessings", and "people helped each other." That lesson should not be lost on any of us. Kinsmen, with their work in the community, provide us with a constant constant reminder. We are working so that no parent will ever go through the anguish of • losing a child to CF. One day soon, the only tears to be cried will be tears of joy, as the cure is announced, and you will have been apart of it. By Robert-Paul Smith kinsmen Club of Bowmanville Bowmanville W.l.
